Aluminum pot lid, approximately 5.25″ in diameter with a riveted plastic handle, signed on the inside in thick black felt tip “John Lennon 1969” and in blue felt tip “Yoko Ono ’69.” The item was originally signed at a screening of the Lennons’ “home movies” at the New Cinema Club at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, September 10, 1969; the pot lid was evidently used as a participatory noisemaker. On the following day, Lennon informed the Beatles’ new manager, Allan Klein, that he was quitting the band. Previously sold at Christie’s and Julien’s. Light scratches and rubbing to Lennon’s signature, mild wear from use, and adhesive remnants to top of lid, otherwise fine condition. A most unusual Lennon relic!
